What Cheng Qiang didn't know was that Zhou Chen's refusal of his invitation was not a matter of money, but a matter of time.

Wan Fangfang was also afraid that Zhou Chen's words would offend Cheng Qiang and Chen Jie, so at this time, she immediately helped explain, "Mr. Chen, Director Cheng, that's the case, the reason for Zhou Chen's refusal is the time problem of this show, not anything else." ”

"A matter of time? We started at nine o'clock in prime time, not a time when traffic was sluggish. ”

"No, no, no, Cheng Dao, you misunderstood. We Zhou Chen don't pursue these, what he wants is to be able to finish early, and then go back to rest early. It means that the earlier your program team is, the more he likes it. ”

"Well, there's such a thing? So what time do you want our show to start? ”

"Six o'clock." Zhou Chen replied directly.

"What! Six? It's too early, right? Many people just got off work at six o'clock, or just had dinner, where do they have time to watch our variety shows? ”

Hearing the time proposed by Zhou Chen, Cheng Qiang was immediately surprised.

Although it is his first time trying to do a variety show, he also knows the situation in the industry very well. At present, there is no variety show in the industry that is held at 6 o'clock in the evening.

"Yes, Zhou Chen, is it a little early at six o'clock?"

Chen Jie on the side also said with an incredulous expression.

Of course, he is the president of Wanhe, and he has every reason to ask Zhou Chen to accept the invitation of this program group unconditionally in the name of Wanhe.

It's just that he doesn't want to do that, and he doesn't want to have a stiff relationship with Zhou Chen.

He is just trying to give Cheng Qiang, an old friend, some face, so he deliberately stands on Cheng Qiang's side to speak.

After all, society is a river and lake, and people like him are sophisticated, and people like him who are presidents are very stubborn.

"Mr. Chen, that's right, Zhou Chen also went to the hospital for a physical examination recently, and then the doctor also said that he needed to go to bed early and get up early. The schedule he set for himself was also to go to bed early and get up early, so he put forward the request to participate in the show during this time slot. ”

Wan Fangfang, the agent, was the most nervous moment, after all, he was really afraid that Zhou Chen's words would offend not only Cheng Qiang, but also Chen Jie.

I offended Wang Wei at the beginning, and I have already tossed a lot of things, if I directly offend Chen Jie this time, it will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, she had to come out to speak and help Zhou Chen explain.

Chen Jie was very satisfied with Wan Fangfang's move, because everything he had just done was just for Cheng Qiang.

Now Wan Fangfang's explanation can be said to have found a reasonable step for both sides.

"I see, that's fine, six o'clock is six o'clock, we promised you."

Cheng Qiang is different from Wei Wentao, the director of "Music 2023", he doesn't need to go back to think, but made a decision at the beginning.

The reason is very simple, Zhou Chen is the first artist he invited.

Therefore, the time of the show was temporarily changed to six o'clock, and he didn't need to explain to other artists.

Moreover, before coming over, he had already understood Zhou Chen's information thoroughly.

Zhou Chen's ability to make different variety shows reach 4.0 ratings is definitely not an accidental factor, nor is it definitely not a luck component, but a real strength.

With this strength, he believes that even if it starts at six o'clock, the ratings of the program group will not be low.

"Really? Thank you so much for Director Cheng. ”

Seeing that there was finally a show willing to accommodate Zhou Chen's work and rest time, Wan Fangfang was also very happy.

At least next, Zhou Chen can participate in a variety show again, and she, the agent, can also have an explanation with the company.

"Of course it's true, although I'm also shocked to change the time of the show to start at six o'clock, but with Zhou Chen here, I'm willing to give it a try. This is also the sincerity of our program team. Cheng Qiang said.

"Thank you, Director Cheng, in that case, there is no problem on my side."

The other party had already made concessions, and Zhou Chen also agreed.

"Great, that's it. On the first of next month, we will be waiting for you at the show. Cheng Qiang said happily.

"Thank you, Director Cheng, when the time comes, please also let people send me some rules of the program group. I'm going to get ready. ”

"That's fine, I'll get my assistant in touch with your agent when the time comes. But before that, I want us to sign the contract, what do you think? ”

Cheng Qiang is a smart person, he knows that there are a lot of variety shows queuing up to invite Zhou Chen.

Now he finally met Zhou Chen first through Chen Jie's relationship, and reached an agreement with Zhou Chen.

In order not to have an accident, he naturally had to finalize the contract before leaving.

Zhou Chen nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

So, Cheng Qiang immediately asked the assistant to take out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, and then the two parties signed and confirmed it on the spot.

After seeing Zhou Chen sign the contract, Cheng Qiang left Wanhe Entertainment satisfied.

"Director Cheng, I don't really understand. Why did you say yes so quickly? You know, if we change the time to 6 p.m., we will be very passive. ”

As soon as he got out of Wanhe Entertainment and got into the car, the assistant asked with a puzzled face.

"What do you mean by passivity?" Cheng Qiang asked rhetorically.

"Once it was changed to 6 p.m., it was difficult for us to invite big-name artists to participate because it was not the prime time for traffic. And without the participation of big-name artists, how can our ratings be guaranteed? The assistant analyzed.

"There is some truth in what you said, but I can tell you for sure that having Zhou Chen alone is the guarantee of ratings." Cheng Qiang replied affirmatively.

"But I'm still worried that other artists will see this time period too early, and then choose to reject us? We can't only invite Zhou Chen alone by domestic artists, right? ”

"It's okay, as long as the money is in place, there will always be artists to participate. It's a big deal to invite some third-rate artists at that time, anyway, as long as Zhou Chen is there, there is no need to worry about the ratings. What's more, we also have foreign artists. After you go back in a while, let the staff of the external group determine the list of foreign artists as soon as possible. We'll announce it all together when the time comes. Cheng Qiang said.

Cheng Qiang is determined to gamble on Zhou Chen's influence this time, so he can ignore whether other big-name artists participate in "Chinese and Foreign Concerts" because of time problems.

When he promised Zhou Chen to change the time of the show to start at six o'clock in the evening, he was ready to go out.

He trusts his instincts.

If the final ratings are dismal, he will admit it.

"Zhou Chen, do you still have activities tonight? If not, I can take you to a celebrity event. ”

Wan He's side, Wan Fangfang saw that the time was about to get off work, so she went to find Zhou Chen.

"Sister Fangfang, I'm afraid I can't. I'm going to Su Qingge's birthday party tonight. Zhou Chen replied.

"Su Qingge? That little Lori beauty? Your kid has had good peach blossom luck recently, first he has been close to the little genius in the music world, and now he is moving around frequently with the little beauty Su Qingge. Say, which of them do you like more? Wan Fangfang said jokingly.
